Man Cave

On Wednesday, 22 February, Yr 10 boys had the privilege of spending the day with a passionate team from Man Cave, breaking down stereotypes and developing lifelong skills to promoting healthy relationships with others. The activities involved team building, competitions, group discussions and reflection time. It was a truly inspiring day which empowered the boys to be the best versions of themselves and to be role models within their school and community.

“Emotion and empathy, evoked. The Man Cave experience provided a safe and supportive space for my classmates and I, with a focus on compassion, emotional intelligence and improving relationships. I particularly enjoyed the competitive ‘Shazam’ challenge, guessing songs in a group with my peers, as well as the ‘check-in’ session, a voluntary opportunity for anyone to speak about hardships or achievements they wished to share. I left the Man Cave session feeling empowered and equipped with new skills and practical tools to take care of my mental health, and to support those around me in overcoming adversities.”

Career Assessment for Yr 10 2023

As part of the Yr 10 Careers Program, and ahead of the Stage 6 Course and Subject Selection Process, Redlands offers a career assessment opportunity to all Yr 10 students. Redlands have engaged Career Avenues run by Dr Marian Kratzing, a Careers Psychologist. Dr Kratzing has developed a unique career profiling system which she and her colleagues provide to many independent schools in Sydney. https://careeravenues.com/

We encourage every student to participate in this opportunity, as the results are interesting and surface important questions prior to the Stage 6 Course and Subject Selection. The exercise also provides a great start for research into potential tertiary courses and future pathways.

A letter was sent home to all parents and carers, however if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact:

Make a Splash for a Great Cause!

The Balmoral Swim Schools Relay Challenge is back! On Sunday 2 April from 8am-9am, local schools will come together to raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute, increase awareness for this important cause, and most importantly, have fun participating in an open water swim relay.

Here’s how it works: each team consists of four swimmers, and each swimmer will swim a 200m leg of the relay. Participants can choose to swim in their year category or an older category, and the entry cost is just $20 per swimmer. 

Don’t want to swim? No problem – you can still support the cause by donating to the Redlands fundraising page to help raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute.  

This is a fantastic opportunity to come together, have some fun, and raise funds for a great cause. So, gather your teammates, come along to Balmoral Beach, and make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.

We can’t wait to see everyone there! Register your team now and join in the fun!
